The Institute for Social and Socio-Health Care (IASS) allocates 80,000 euros to emergency aid to meet the needs of users of the Childhood and Family Unit. The acting counselor of the Social Action area, Marián Franquet, explains that this line of aid, whose regulatory bases were published yesterday in the Official Gazette of the Province (BOP), is to “favor the social integration of young people released from guardianship after reaching the age of majority, avoiding situations of need or social emergency, in addition to facilitating the family reintegration of children and adolescents who have abandoned the foster care regime.
The third vice president of the Island Corporation also states that “it is a way to help promote the independence of people over 18 who must leave the shelter resource.” At the same time, with this line of support we want to “serve them as support to achieve their aspirations and integrate satisfactorily into society.”
Marián Franquet maintains that in the case of users who are still minors and who are in a situation of helplessness or residential care, this aid will go to those relatives or close people, who will be responsible for taking care of their guardianship.
